41
42What's new in version 0.96:
43
44  Minor bug fixes only.
45
46What's new in version 0.95:
47
48  Flushing out the deferred-write buffer is now done in a single pass,
49  regardless of whether the records in the buffer are contiguous.
50
51  Various time and memory performance enhancements courtesy of Tels.
52  (<tels@bloodgate.com>)
53
54  ->flock method now discards read cache and offsets table when
55  successful.
56
57  Miscellaneous minor bugs fixes and test suite enhancements.
58
59  New ->offset method for recovering offset table data.  (Tels again.)
60
61What's new in version 0.93:
62
63  No significant changes.  (Release was mainly to correct an error in
64  one of the test files.)
65
66What's new in version 0.92:
67
68  Bug fixes:  Negative 'nrecs' argument to 'splice' is now handled
69  correctly.  Tie::File now behaves correctly even if you change $\.
70
71  More tests and (very) minor performance enhancements.
72
73What's new in version 0.91:
74
75  Tie::File now correctly handles attempts to store undefined values
76  in the array: they are silently converted to defined empty strings.
77
78  If the last record of the file is not properly terminated with the
79  record terminator string, and if the file was opened for writing,
80  Tie::File will silently repair it.  Formerly, it would mangle the file.
81
82  More unit tests.
83
84  Performance enhancements.
85
86What's new in version 0.90:
87
88  AUTODEFERMENT: Tie::File will now turn deferred writing on and off
89  automatically when it thinks it would be good to do so.  You may
90  disable this feature by calling ->autodefer(0) or by supplying the
91  'autodefer => 0' option with 'tie'.
92
93  The read cache now uses a heap instead of an array.  This yields
94  much better performance for large caches.
95
96  Other performance improvements.
97
98What's new in version 0.51:
99
100  Minor fixes in the test suite.
101
102What's new in version 0.50:
103
104  DEFERRED WRITING:  You may now use the ->defer method to request
105  that changes to the array *not* be written to the file immediately.
106  Changes will be written when the memory limit for deferred writes is
107  exceeded, or when you invoke the ->flush method.  You may discard
108  pending writes with the ->discard method.  You may set the limit of
109  discarded data with the 'dw_size' option.
110
111  The DELETE method now returns the correct values.
112
113What's new in version 0.20:
114
115  MAJOR INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Records read from the tied array now have
116  the record separator REMOVED by default.  This is to provide
117  do-what-I-meant behavior for expressions like
118
119        $tied[3] .= "more text";
120
121  Formerly, this would have appended "more text" *after* the newline character.
122
123  You may obtain the old behavior by supplying the 'autochomp => 0'
124  option in the 'tie' call, or by invoking the new 'autochomp'
125  accessor method.
126
127  Tests for this new feature.
